2. Michigan State will rewrite the record books

With this huge win, this squad will rewrite the record books. Tom Izzo has mentioned that these Spartans may be the best shooting team that he’s ever had. This will be showcased in the game against High Point because they will break the made 3-pointers in a game record.

Currently, the Spartans’ record for made 3-pointers in the game with 17. This record was tied five years ago with the likes of Denzel Valentine and Bryn Forbes. This team though will shatter that record and make 20 against High Point.

Even without Max Christie and Marcus Bingham Jr. because of COVID-positive tests, Malik Hall, Joey Hauser, Tyson Walker, Jaden Akins, and more Spartans will get in on the action to help break this record against this final non-conference opponent.
